Yeah, and that part is the pipe dream. You really need to compromise it only once to have access to everything.

It’s unreasonable to believe only the government will have access.
What is wrong with the method which vbezhenar suggested? (sibling comment of yours)
I have the feeling that some EU citizens aren't exactly aware that THEY are the EU, and listen instead to antagonizing outsider stories (Sputnik, whatever you name it). There were EU elections last year and the measures taken today are drafted by those people elected one year ago. Same for the council members - they were voted in the respective national elections. Next time folks pay better attention when you vote. Or whether you vote.
Hi, GitLab team member here.

You can find it in the project settings in the "sharing and permissions" section: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/settings/#sharing-an... You can also disable the repository feature, and use the project for issue management only.

> When you know what the project scope is, tight enforcement of that scope is critical to prevent the complexity of the project from running away and ultimately killing the project entirely.

Which is why I believe a "benevolent dictatorship" style of governance has more chances (nitpick prevention: more, not all the chances) to become successful and thrive.

If you let too many community members decide on what is in and out of scope, the project ends up being a conglomerate of the most random favorite features from the most vocal participants.
Looking for CO-Founder/Solidity Engineer
I am looking for an engineer with Solidity experience to help build smart contract capabilities. As a member of the co-founding team you will collaborate on the design and implementation of smart contracts for our peer-to-peer risk exchange protocol, next-gen asset class and security token sale framework. We are building a multi-purpose Open Finance and Decentralized Financial platform providing: - the superior and next-generation stablecoin that earns a yield while it’s in your wallet with rich diversified yield generation strategies - a Tokenized Risk and Fluctuation Derivative Asset for DeFi, with a yield strategy based on a cross platform derivatives protocol for any and all fluctuations – and an autonomous and non-custodial stablecoin infrastructure, risk minimised and scalable stable assets are the foundation of a robust DeFi stack. The aim is to build a billion-dollar DeFi protocol.

We are building a global Open Finance platform that can be used by anyone in frontier and emerging markets with a mobile phone — no banks or intermediaries required. Under the hood, it is a decentralized smart contract platform whose architecture enables mobile phones to easily validate transactions, and it uses stable-value token pegged to fiat currency to minimize volatility. But because we are building both the underlying infrastructure, a consumer web app and a mobile app, it is taking a “full stack” approach. This means we’re building a complete product or service that can bypass legacy infrastructure and limitations, and more importantly, provide a better end-to-end experience — enabling NEPRI to take the best features of DeFi and pair them with a more seamless user experience.

"Pro-censorship" is such a ridiculous, extremist term. You can't just pretend everyone in the world falls into either a "for" or "against" censorship group. Everybody (well, 99.99%, maybe) accepts that some censorship is necessary, but that not everything should be censored.

> There is a clear implied threat: the threat is that you [the "teacher" in the experiment] will be removed and someone else will be brought in to finish the job.

The claim made above, by others, seems to be that the experiment involved an implicit threat against the "teacher" that might explain why he followed instructions to deliver electric shocks to the "learner." How is being removed from the experiment an "implied threat" against the "teacher" that would get him to follow instructions? And if it isn't a threat of that sort, how is it relevant to understanding why "teachers" followed instructions?

> the assumption [that is, an implicit premise of the experiment] is that your actions cannot stop the experimenter from inflicting harm without yourself harming the experimenter

That doesn't sound right. The teacher can put a temporary stop to the experiment by refusing to obey -- that is, by refusing to shock the learner. He can put a permanent stop to it by, say, calling the police.
i am fairly clueless about the stock market, and would love an explanation for the following: there seems to be no discussion about the company’s fundamentals, it seems to be all about bankrupting hedge funds. That makes no sense to me. Am I being naive here?

And in the final analysis, it seems to me like the bigger driver of GME’s stock was not retail redditors, but companies like Vanguard etc. So, this isnt even a David Goliath situation. Some billionaires lost their shirt, and other billionaires made a shit load of money. This is like David standing up to Goliath, until Davids dad comes in and gives Goliath a proper ass whooping. Is this what happened?
We require regulation, just as we require the police, because education doesn't matter to people willing to disregard ethics and harm others for their own gains.

Those pseudo-random numbers are still reproducable.
With apologies to the GitLab team, our views of how to make good software vary drastically and yours may be more in line with other peoples, but not mine: Maybe Gitlab's gotten better recently, but it's probably the most annoying piece of software I've ever used (well, second to Confluence maybe). It does everything which might be appealing to some, but for me it just meant everything was confusing, inconsistently labeled and documented, and/or buried under 5 levels of menus or under buttons that made no sense.

The way I explain it is you know how when your computer illiterate parents ask you to do some simple task that you have literally no idea how to do, but you look at some menus that have vaguely similar sounding titles based on your years of building up intuitions about how computer UIs work, click those menus, find what you need and do the task? GitLab breaks all those intuitions so easy tasks become hard.

YMMV, of course.

I've been using Sourceforge recently and am pretty happy with it overall, though it's still very alpha quality.
On my last job -- which I do regret somewhat for losing -- I failed at meaningfully delivering that message.

There were SO MANY things to figure out, and I had no experience in Kubernetes (and only surface experience with Docker, Tilt and Helm) yet I was expected to be productive in 1-2 weeks after onboarding.

The main reason why I started taking too long in doing any tasks was that I grew more and more reluctant to ask questions. They were always answered extremely shortly and unhelpfully and left me with the impression that nobody cared to help me start becoming productive sooner. Also you were expected to hang out in a rather unofficial Mumble server the entire day if you have questions. What? Are we working remotely or are we simulating an office? Seems it was the latter.

So anyway, I took the long route and started exploring a lot while working on my first tasks.

Needless to say, this got me fired. I regret losing the very respectable salary but beyond that I am actually happy that it didn't work out.

It's like, I get it, you guys are all busy, but if you took one or two weeks to hand-hold me every day then we wouldn't have a discussion at the 4th month mark about why am I so slow and that I have to be let go.

It was rather sad because I kind of liked the guys in the team -- but they were not helpful and you were expected to wing everything yourself. Which is fine, AFTER you receive meaningful initial help. Which I never did.

Sorry for rant. Reminded me of this HN comment (disclosure: not mine) which IMO nails it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25800104

But, on topic again: I wasn't able to express that message properly some of the places I worked at. There are people who were receptive to it (it == "you need to properly onboard people even if that means some of your business-critical devs work at reduced capacity for a few weeks") when I said it in the past -- and most are receptive to it in my current job as well -- so it seems it really depends on the people themselves and/or the culture of the company.

I guess it's kind of like hiring: it's much more randomness than anything else.
Couldn't agree more. I think we should redesign programming so that it is primarily a method of communicating between humans. If that becomes the focus, we can use the best methods we have of communicating words, graphics, and interactivity to explain complex systems.

I think you're confused. Their community guidelines are part of their terms of service. You can write whatever on your wall, it's your home, your community.

If you want to use their service you have to follow their rules.

Turns out that Discord doesn't like people using the terms "Retard" and "Autist" in a disparaging way.

They don't want that kind of discourse to be part of their community.

In the same way, I'm guessing that you're not going get far on this forum calling people "retards"

If you want to have your own community where you want to have that kind of discourse, you can self host a forum.
Instead of Discord consider IRC, it's an open standard, and anyone can host a server.

You don't need AWS, you just need an internet connection. You just need to find a hosting provider that's willing to host it. Of which there are plenty.
Some people like to do good. In fact, most people like to do good.

Ask any kid what they want to be when they grow up and no one will say "I want to become a scary ogre".

I want to do good, and most likely you want too. Zuckerberg and Musk and Cuban, apart from their money, are people like me and you. They don't wake up in the morning and think "how can I be a scary ogre today". They want to do good, and they happen to have the money to do it.

Why is this miserable?
That's not really a compiler limitation though (since in C++ mode it will happily handle it) but rather a validation/mode thing. Since they now support C11, I'm sure that part is removed if you select C11 mode?
No doubt a large portion of this has been enabled by Apple's 5+ year commitment to older phones.

It's such a shame they are the exception rather than the rule, but they are now reaping all of the rewards from it (including being able to offer their own services to such a large user base).

All the other manufacturers were too short-sighted and next-quarter profits-oriented to think too deeply about this.

A CEO picks a cause for his philanthropy arm, a CEO starts a new company and a company invests in real estate. Whether you believe their intentions or not, its nothing really new, we just have made celebrities out of CEOs now. We have always had big corps with power and influence but now we just personify and drive the admiration/hatred to the one person heading it instead of the entire company.

I don't recall any experimental variations like this in Milgram's Obedience to Authority. That is, I don't recall an "appeal to the necessity of science" variation or a "direct command" variation. Do you have a page number or some other citation?

You claim that somebody thinks it is reasonable policy to ban e2ee. Who is that exactly?

Consider this section from the resolution:

Striking a right balance

The principle of security through encryption and security despite encryption must be upheld in its entirety. The European Union continues to support strong encryption. Encryption is an anchor of confidence in digitalisation and in protection of fundamental rights and should be promoted and developed.

Protecting the privacy and security of communications through encryption and at the same time upholding the possibility for competent authorities in the area of security and criminal justice to lawfully access relevant data for legitimate, clearly defined purposes in fighting serious and/or organized crimes and terrorism, including in the digital world, and upholding the rule of law, are extremely important. Any actions taken have to balance these interests carefully against the principles of necessity, proportionality and subsidiarity.

I have an uncle who is an employment lawyer. I go to him when I have questions. People on the internet are obsessed with edge cases. “I once had a former employer come after me for X” might be a true story (or might be exaggerated) but you don’t hear from the thousand other people who never had that issue. A good lawyer can look at a contract and tell you the legality and enforceability but also things like “yeah they can technically get you there but it’ll cost them dollars on the penny to sue you so don’t worry too much about it “. Basically let you understand the risks you are taking.

So if you are very worried, I recommend dishing out a few hundred dollars to talk to a lawyer. Call a few... sometimes they’ll give quick advice for free.

Side note, I am very curious what these new clauses are!
Fantastic work, and very fun game! Thanks for sharing :)

Now, a judicially authorized/vetted extraction of data of a specific customer/timeframe is a different thing (even better, make it forward/backward secret).

Completely off topic, but... it does take a village to raise a child.

I understand that instinctively, and I suppose I've read enough factual articles about it to believe it, but I'm missing a real explanation. Something I could point people at in lieu of trying to explain why that is, myself, which covers everything from "A higher diversity of 'parents' is helpful" to "it's not good to segregate children by age, actually".

I don't suppose you'd have something?

Or perhaps more likely, fiction which demonstrates the same thing would be valuable. Fictional evidence may not be evidence, but it's good at convincing people all the same. My personal favorite in the genre is Non Non Biyori; if you want to take a look, it's an excellent and relaxing story for these times.
What about retail investors who looked at Gamestop before all this and thought it seemed like a reasonable investment, only to get wiped out by "irrational downward pressure" from hedge funds conspiring to short the stock 136%?

We'll have to wait and see a bit, but the huge pop in Gamestock was likely more the result of funds covering shorts, not retail investors continuing to buy at these prices. So it feels really disingenuous to blame retail for these wild swings when they would not have been possible without the irresponsible hedge fund trading that came before.
You're overthinking terrorism investigations. They don't need to be able to defeat crypto. They just need to be able to threaten Muhammad or whomever with 20 years in the clink. Everyone rolls under that pressure. No one is "hard".

Argh, that's been my experience too. (I've just rented electric cars). None of the charging stations take credit cards; they all have some byzantine payment method.

There are weird resellers abound - some have apps that work, some have crashy pieces of crap. Some have clear pricing models, others have weird "memberships" and surprise bills. The same charging station can cost wildly different amounts to different people.

It reminds me of the bad old days of American long-distance service. Really difficult to actually pick the right provider.

There are a lot of EV chargers in Germany but they're such a bizarre experience. And they're not cheap! It costs ~15eur to fully charge a car here in Berlin.

In my experience1, it is more common in European writings. American usage seems to be mainly by those who reject the "industrial agricultural complex" in favor of farms which provide more natural environments and biodiversity.

Malaria aside, our bodies are fine-tuned for many factors which all trigger many different mechanisms. It's a very complicated system, grown organically and additively over the course of many hundreds of millions of years.

As any software maintainers will tell you, even with a system merely several years in existence, anytime you provide different inputs you have not tried before, e.g. taking mosquitoes out of the equation completely, you increase the chance of different, unexpected, output.

This is general theory, but I've come across quite a bit of research suggesting that all the parasites we've been living with for millenia are crucial to priming and functioning of our immune system.

I haven't seen anything about mosquitoes specifically yet, but I've seen it for leeches, lice, and worms. Mosquitoes are even more prevalent in our biome, so even more likely to be essential.

We did not grow up in a sterile world, all these other beings have been growing up alongside us this whole time.
